Steps to the hamburger steak recipe

Y’all know the first thing I always say is to ensure you gather all your ingredients! We don’t want to get halfway through the recipe and realize we don’t have some elements.

To a bowl, add your ground beef.

Add all your seasonings(onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and Worcestershire sauce).

Mix those ingredients into your ground beef well.

Form your beef into patties. Once done, add some oil to a preheated cast iron pan(medium-high temperature). Add in your beef patties and allow to cook on both sides for about 5 minutes.

Once the patties are cooked for 5 minutes on both sides, take them out and sit them to the side.

Steps to the gravy recipe

In the same pot, add in some butter along with your onions and allow that to cook for 2 minutes.

Add in your flour and stir until it dissolves.

Once the flour dissolves, add in your beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and stir.

Add back in your beef patties and let simmer on medium-low for 5 minutes!

Variations/Substitutions For Hamburger Steak

Onion Gravy: Instead of regular gravy, you can make a flavorful onion gravy by sautéing sliced onions in the skillet before adding the beef broth. Cook the onions until they are caramelized and golden brown, then proceed with the recipe.

Mushroom Gravy: If you enjoy mushrooms, you can make a mushroom gravy by adding sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the onions. Sauté the mushrooms until they are tender and golden brown before adding the beef broth.

Bread Crumbs Substitute: If you don't have bread crumbs on hand, you can use crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs instead.

Ground Meat Substitute: You can combine ground beef and ground pork or ground turkey for your hamburger steak patties. This can add extra flavor and variety to your dish.

Lean Ground Beef Substitute: If you're following a low-fat or low-calorie diet, you can use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of lean ground beef.

Egg Noodles Substitute: If you want to switch up the side dish, you can serve your hamburger steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or even pasta instead of egg noodles.

Sheet Pan Variation: Instead of cooking the hamburger steak patties in a skillet, you can place them on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and bake them in the oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Ground Beef Stroganoff Variation: You can make a beef stroganoff-inspired dish to give your hamburger steak a creamy twist. Cook the hamburger steak patties as usual, then remove them from the skillet. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and some sour cream. Stir until well combined and heated through. Serve the hamburger steaks with this creamy mushroom sauce.

Feel free to experiment with these variations and substitutions to create a dish that suits your preferences and satisfies your whole family's cravings.
